Before: Griffin, P.J., and Cavanagh and Fitzgerald, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from a family court order terminating his parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm. The trial court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Further, the trial court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights, inasmuch as respondent-appellant failed to demonstrate that termination of his parental rights was clearly not in the child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re HallSmith, 222 Mich App 470, 472; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). -1­ Affirmed. /s/ Richard Allen Griffin /s/ Mark J. Cavanagh /s/ E. Thomas Fitzgerald -2­
